What is the official website for the lynx, text based webbrowser?

The homepage for Lynx has moved more than once, as discussed in this development page:

However, things change. Paul Vixie left ISC in mid-2013 to form a new company. At the time, that did not affect Lynx—from ISC's standpoint Lynx was just a box in a rack of servers. For the last four years of Lynx's stay at ISC, I did all of the software maintenance for the project. Still, a box in a rack costs money for electricity. Late in 2015, ISC shifted away from this style of project support, to reduce costs. I expanded my website to incorporate Lynx (roughly doubling the size of the site).

Old site:

http://lynx.isc.org/
ftp://lynx.isc.org/

New site:

https://lynx.invisible-island.net/
ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/lynx/

This new site is still the current homepage as of February 2018.


Yes, http://lynx.invisible-island.net/ is the current official home page for the Lynx text-based web browser.

Unless Thomas says otherwise. (He doesn't)

The move is mentioned in the CHANGES document for release "2.8.9dev.7" in December 2015:

* move homepage for Lynx from
    http://lynx.isc.org
  to
    http://lynx.invisible-island.net
  because ISC has ended support -TD
